Guys, can you not...

Let him do his thing and then maybe one decade later we'll find out the greatness achieved.
Patience.

There are already more than 190 gigabytes worth of miscellaneous Stepmania packages in the entire world and a lot more than 20 gigabytes of simfiles. There is not a pressing need for new step charts. I can make a good impression with about 20 sets of step charts, but that wouldn't be fulfilling an unrecognized need. Also you are using the word everyone lazily. Does that include people outside of the influence? The first thing somebody wants when they adopt to Stepmania is something to run in the background. Most people don't like Stepmania by default with just still images. You might as well have art run in the background.

Did you even read this before posting? Are you telling us that videos are more important than quality stepcharts? I certainly hope not, because if that's the case there's no chance of this being successful in the long run, or even at all. No one has ever put more emphasis on flashy bg vids than making high-quality stepcharts that are fun and keep the player wanting to play more. Which is better: A well-made stepchart with fun patterns and a still image, or a poorly made chart with nonsensical patterns but a great video playing in the BG that grabs your attention?

I refuse to accept anymore that you're not trolling, please, please prove me wrong.

That's an opinion.
Maybe a small percentage of people like playing for that reason.
No need to butcher his plans.

"Give me a steady beat."

Because of my post, I just recieved a PM from him asking if I was "enticed to see the culmination of The Greatest Of Stepmania".

I think... I think he's serious.

I believe I get it now... He thinks that the community needs a Greatest Hits release akin to KONAMIX, introducing no new material and deciding for himself what is the best of out of the entire run of DDR simulation. There are a number of reason why this isn't going to work...

He also mentioned that he lives close where I am, so if you need me I will be packing my things.

...I thought the first thing someone wants when they installed StepMania is A STEPCHART TO PLAY.

Ugh fuck this I'm done with this thread. You're hopeless. I'd just echo everything SM MaxX said.

Also did you know it took me longer time giving my files complete, fresh NEW charts (Single and Double) than taking a video, cutting it and syncing it to the file.

Working on a Butterfly Upswing Mix simfile. 1 of the clips that is going into the simfile is below

But seriously... can't we just download it in parts instead of mailing our hard drives to you?
You have a website for it... but you're only using it to host a few images and some previews?


I am not going to upload all Stepmania packages individually, but I can upload several of them by request. The song list is on page 1.

So by this logic I should just steal the Mona Lisa and the David statue and try to make it out as my creations? I mean after all who cares about originality, why bother making your own stepcharts and having your own flavor to them, nah I'll just take others charts and pass them off as mine and somehow receive credit for it.

A better analogy would be:

Oh. Oh my god. Aha. He's serious. Guys. He's serious. I think we ticked him off. HA. I THINK WE TICKED HIM OFF. xD

What makes you think ANYONE cares about this? I'm being serious here.

DON'T RUIN THE HYPE

Sorry KNS. I have to. This just isn't sitting right with me and the fact that he thinks something like this will be successful annoys me further.

I mean come on. Do you honestly think this will be successful? Nearly 7 gigs of videos. Who wants that? I know I've already asked that but still. As everyone else said, people would rather have a static background with a quality chart than a piece of crap chart with an amazing video in the background. Most of the time the video distracts, and though sometimes that's acceptable, I don't think seeing some anime put lazily together to different parts of the song is "amazing". You're trying to overhype this and then tell people they can't download it? Oh oh? What's that I hear? A train wreck?

YOU GOT IT.




Sorry guys. Just needed to vent this. :3
